I highly recommend this book by a renowned Moroccan feminist and sociologist to anyone who considers themselves a feminist and also to anyone who might have preconceived notions about Islam and feminism. I feel it has aged well (2001). It was written in a very personal and easy to read way and it has a playfulness & storytelling quality to it which I don't think you find a lot in academic works. I so rarely get exposed to critiques of the western form of patriarchy from the perspective of a non-western feminist who also isn't living in a western country. Very unique read for me and am certainly interested in reading some of her other works at some stage.
